"Do you want her to die, or do you want her to live?" Gong Liang asked coldly.

"She and her children's ministers have been separated from each other, and they have lost their love for husband and wife. I hope her father will let her live." Gong liangche knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"Three days later, when you marry Yue Yi, I will let her go."

The old emperor said leisurely.

Gong Liang Che raised his head fiercely and looked at Gong Liang Jin. His eyelids drooped and his hands were on the ground. He continued to kneel down.

"What, you want to fight?" Gong Liang sincerely looks at Gong Liang Che coldly and asks.

"The children's ministers obey all the arrangements of their father." Gong liangche knelt on the ground and returned respectfully.

"How did you make it this year? I'll hide in the corner of the mountain village and be a villager? "

Gong Liang was very interested and asked Gong Liang Che.

"When I returned to my father, my son's ministers were injured all over. They could not lift their shoulders or carry their hands. They could only recuperate in the village every day and could do nothing."

Gong liangche returned respectfully.

"You have won the battle, and I have told the world that I am going to make you prince. But what did you bring to me? I've sent people to look for the place where you came back again and again, but most of the ten thousand cavalry were damaged. You disappeared for more than a year, and the government and the public were shocked. "

"Civil and military officials have repeatedly recommended your starling to be the crown prince. He has no other ability to win people's hearts, but he is a good hand. I'm very troublesome. Now that you're back, I haven't shouldered the pressure for you for a year."

"Who killed you, did you find the murderer?"

Gong Liang's eyes sank and asked harshly.

"My son is not talented. I haven't found it yet."

"Lao Shi, you are smart and resolute. I will give you time. If you can't find it in a month, I will be very disappointed. You are tired too. Go on."

Gong Liangjin sat on the Dragon chair and said in a deep voice.

"My son is leaving."

"That woman, now in Tianlong, you can only meet once."

Gong Liangjin said again.

"Thank you, father."

Gong liangche took a step, turned around again and bowed to the old emperor.

inside the prison.

Xia Li, a prisoner in prison clothes, sat on the cold wall all night. The early autumn morning light came in from a corner of the Tianlong window, bringing her a little warmth.

This is the top floor of Tianlong. She is the only one who is closed. There is no sound. Just outside the Tianlong window, there are several sparrows chirping. Before long, they flutter their wings and fly away. It seems that they have never come back.

When the door of the prison was opened, her eyes immediately widened and flashed a ray of hope. She stood up and rushed to the door of the prison. Her eyelids drooped as she looked at the comer.

The person who came here was not Gong liangche, but a woman who looked like she was about 40 years old. She was dressed in purple brocade robes and dragged down the floor. She had long hair, a simple bun, a little pink and Dai. She walked towards her with a smile on her lips. If you don't look carefully, you can't find a fishtail pattern hidden in her eyes.

"you are the one who saved che'er in the village "Village girl?"

The woman covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, stood one meter away from Xia Li and stopped. Then she took the handkerchief down and asked in a cold voice.

"Bold! When you see a good wife, do you still kneel down? "

The big maid next to the woman came forward to denounce.

Xia Li made a big ceremony. When she was ready to get up, the voice of the palace girl came from her head.

"Let you get up? I don't understand the rules at all. If the empress doesn't speak, you just kneel down!"

Xia Li kneels on the ground, does not dare to speak, continues to maintain the kneeling posture.

After about a cup of tea, I heard a gentle voice, "raise your face and show it to my palace."

Xia Li hesitated for a moment, straightened her back, raised her head and looked at the woman.

The imperial concubine in the palace, with a gentle smile from beginning to end, looked through her eyes, as if to see through her. After a moment, she said.

"Che'er's eyes are really vicious. Unexpectedly, the woman I'm looking for is just like my mother's wife. She's stupid, naive and ignorant, but she's stubborn and has a sense of death."

Xiali knelt on the ground, silent.

"Originally, our palace was just an unknown maid in the palace. She had no power and no power. Fortunately, she was appreciated and favored by the emperor. But, do you know? Before che'er, the palace has lost three children, all of them are bloody flesh, dead in the womb. "

"Our palace gave birth to him only after fighting for the whole life. All the glory of our mother and son now depends on his fighting achievements over and over again. I've been with him for more than a year. I think you can see that his body is covered with scars, and he has never enjoyed a day's peace. "

"It's not easy to survive in the palace. It's not suitable for a simple minded woman like you. We don't want che'er to lose everything for you. The rest of his life is not like death. Without you, even if he doesn't become an emperor, no one can do anything to him.""You can't be the handle for others to threaten che'er. You are not suitable at all. I believe you know this better than anyone else."

"No matter how stupid you are and how many things you have experienced, I believe that you can gradually understand what this palace says."

With that, she turned and walked out.

With a cold hum, the grand maid put the food box in her hand outside the cell door.

The man had gone away, and the cell was deserted again.

After a night of starvation, Xia Li reached for the food box and opened the lid. It was shredded potatoes, steamed bread and millet porridge. She had nothing but prison clothes. She had taken away all the hairpins on her head. Did she eat them or not?

Xia Li hesitated for a long time. She was very afraid of death.

She and Gong liangche have already been separated. Even if these people speak out, what does it have to do with her? She won't care about his life or death. His parents are the most powerful people in the world. It's as simple as killing an ant to crush her!

But now, trapped in this prison, life and death can not be controlled in her own hands, how should she deal with herself?

Outside the dungeon, the morning sun falls on Gong liangche's body, which makes his figure long. He bows his head and respectfully greets his concubine.

"My son, I'd like to see my mother."

"You were punished by your father and emperor to kneel all night. Just after you were free, you can't wait to see your woman. Where can you put your mother and concubine?"

The imperial concubine stepped forward and held his thin and determined cheek with her fingers covered with red nutmeg.

"This year, my mother's concubine sent people to look for my son everywhere, but there was no whereabouts. Everyone said that my son was dead, but she firmly believed that if you don't see your body one day, you will live well. Many people in this palace covet your crown prince's position can't count their fingers, but you and I know who the murderer is."

The imperial concubine took a look around the prison, pulled him to the corner, and painstakingly advised: "to marry Leyi, she is the apple of General Wang's eye, holding 200000 troops at the border, with outstanding military achievements, with him as our mother and son's backer, we are not afraid of other people's instigation."

"My father and the emperor have already issued an edict that my son and minister will marry Yue Yi."

Gong liangche replied respectfully, "besides, my son's minister and Xia Li have been separated, and there is no relationship with him. My mother and concubine don't have to embarrass her. Three days later, she will finish the wedding ceremony with Yue Yi and send her away."

"Don't cheat your mother's concubine. As long as you don't become emperor, your mother's concubine won't allow you to have any relationship with each other. Otherwise, your mother's concubine will kill her. She can't be your hindrance. She must be in her hands and can't be a soft rib for others to control you."

The good imperial concubine does not pay attention to the words of Gong Liang Che, cold voice returns a way.

"She doesn't want to hurt our mother and son because of a woman. She can save her life, but you don't need to pay attention to where she will go and what she will do. Otherwise, once she finds out you are looking for her, she will immediately send someone to kill her."

"Father." Just as Gong liangche finished, he was interrupted by his concubine.

"Your father was going to kill her. It was your mother's concubine who sought love for you. Your willingness to marry her as your woman shows your love."

The concubine wiped the sweat stains on his face with a handkerchief.

"You don't have to go to see her. Go back and have a good rest for two days. On the third day, be your bridegroom."

The concubine said, the side of the big maid has begun to pull him out.

"King Qing, please come here. The empress has prepared your favorite food for you. When you finish your meal, take a good bath and have a rest. Some new clothes and bath water have been prepared for you."

Gong liangche takes a deep look at the dungeon, pushes open the palace, enters the gate of the dungeon, comes to the top floor, and looks inside quietly through the crack of an iron door.

Xia Li is standing in the cell, holding the cell door tightly with both hands, and his eyes are staring at the direction of the iron door. He immediately takes back his sight. As long as she is still alive, he will be relieved for the time being. Three days later, he will personally send her to a safe place.

Just, where is Yang Xuechen? Isn't he always with quinoa?

Why didn't you see him?

Thinking of this, he took the key of the iron door from the waist of the guard at the door, knocked him unconscious on the ground and entered the prison before the guard made a sound.

"King of the Qing Dynasty!"

The big palace girl chases Gong liangche and is mercilessly blocked outside the iron gate of Tianlao.

Xia Li stretched his neck and looked out. When he saw Gong liangche in plain clothes, he blinked, and his restless heart was firmly put back in his stomach. He buried the tension and fear in his heart and gave Gong liangche a proud look.

"When will you let me go?"

"The emperor and his wife have promised me that they will let you go in three days. After that, you will be free."

Gong liangche's eyes are gentle. He looks at the woman who is afraid to die, but pretends to be strong.

"With me, you won't die. Don't be afraid."

"Believe what you say, the pig will be on the tree, if you promise, which one, realized?"Xia Li didn't believe him, but who else could she rely on besides him?
